This may be only a problem with the Kindle itself, but I keep getting author sort problems when importing and exporting .prc and .mobi files between the Kindle and Calibre.
The problem I have is that Calibre assumes the author name in the .prc or .mobi metadata is in the form Firstname Lastname, when in fact the correct format (as defined by MobiCreator, and used in this fashion by the Kindle) is Lastname, Firstname. This causes no end of problem for importing books (won't sort correctly in Calibre). If the data is corrected in Calibre to sort correctly there, it won't sort correctly when exported to a device.
